Getting to know Matthew Swan

I approach life with curiosity and a driven sense of purpose. I have a natural appreciation for cultural considerations. Over the past 10 years, I have worked in nonprofit organizations, outpatient substance abuse facilities, crisis on-call agencies, and the judicial system. I know life is never a straight line; there are always twists and turns. I can help you navigate those twists and turns, much like a GPS system. Before becoming a marriage and family therapist, I was a stand-up comedian. I try to bring humor into the room whenever possible because I believe laughter—especially during those hard jolts and twists in life—is the best medicine. My passions are dinosaurs and animals, and I enjoy making people laugh, even for free. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California, in the city of Los Angeles. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the University of Phoenix, Los Angeles, and my undergraduate degree in Biology from California State University Monterey Bay. I am a member of the APA (American Psychological Association) and CAMFT (California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists).
